Book of James Bible Study

Thursdays | September 17 – October 15, 2026
7:00–8:00 p.m. ET
Online via Zoom

What does it look like to have a faith that remains steady through trials, seeks God’s wisdom, speaks with grace, and reflects Christ in everyday life?

Join us for a five-week journey through the Book of James, one of the most practical and challenging books in the New Testament. Together, we will discover how genuine faith matures as we trust God and put His Word into practice.

James reminds us that faith is more than something we believe—it is something we live.

Together We Will Explore

• Finding joy and perseverance in life’s challenges
• Receiving God’s wisdom for everyday decisions
• Becoming doers of the Word, not hearers only
• Speaking with kindness, truth, and self-control
• Living with humility and wholehearted trust in God
• Demonstrating faith through love and compassionate action
• Growing in prayer, patience, and spiritual maturity

Whether you are new to Bible study or have spent years studying Scripture, this group offers a welcoming place to learn, ask questions, share insights, and encourage one another as we grow in Christ together.

Each session will include prayer, guided discussion, biblical teaching and reflection, practical application for daily life, and fellowship within a supportive Christian community.

No prior Bible study experience is necessary. Simply bring your Bible, an open heart, and a desire to grow in your relationship with Christ.
